There is, I believe, two more grades above zero, though the minimal one is still brighter than the one on NSTGW.
Thanks. I have that AlReader installed. I have found that the Brightness Control app (which does not require root) pretty much fixes the brightness issue across the board for the Boyue firmware.

Currently, I am running the Onyx Boox C67ML Carta firmware on my T62+. Doing this requires using tools found on the RK3026 E-Readers Kitchen thread and an edit of init.rc (thanks to FOV) to allow the Onyx light control to work on the Boyue hardware. My light control is MUCH better. The lowest setting is truly low. I like Neo Reader for ePubs and pdfs. I'll see how battery life does. I've backed up my former firmware and data, in case I want to go back. So far, I am pleased with the results.

This may be overkill for some, but others may be curious and want to look into it!
